Looking at how close it is to the end of the semester, I am surprised, firstly it’s because the semester is almost over and secondly, how far I have gone since the first day (of the semester.)My motivation level is still at the same level as it was; excited, ready to “rock and roll.” Not being boastful though, I just have reasons or the motivation(s) to do so. Firstly, I wanted to redeem myself, last semester I was in a class but dropped, in retrospect it was about the same time (now) when I quit. Of course, I had to take the class again; it’s ironic though how right now were on the same chapter as I was when I dropped the class. With that said, I am more confident due to the fact, I can do it!
Secondly, my scholarship, I was awarded a performance-based scholarship. Meaning in order for the awardee to claim it, he/she has to send a transcript: with 6 units minimum, gpa of 2.5 minimum. I was not able to claim, because or those requirements. Fortunately, I can still claim it. Although the scholarship is a big factor of why I am motivated to do well, it is not entirely just that. I do not get any financial help, therefore my parents pay the tuition and it is nowhere inexpensive. With the scholarship, it is as if, I do get financial aid, the money not only will support my education but also my parents, it will reduce the amount of what they will actually spend.
Lastly, my parents; I owe my life to them. I would like to (in the future) repay them through, pampering. I believe by the time I am finished with school and became a nurse ( for few years,) they will be or soon be retiring, my Dad has mentioned his plans or wishes once he’s retired; go back to the Philippines with my mother and just be on “vacation.” I would like to give them that, comfort, relaxation, happiness.
